As for being "out to get men". Well, if the perspective is that "women are an oppressed class", then doesn't there logically have to be an "oppressing class" which would have to include a lot of men, and probably some enabling women.
Finally, yes, as I have said before, I find some feminist/liberal concepts to be personally insulting. The concept of "male privilege" being one. Since I quit my good-paying job with the military industrial complex in 1986, my income has been in the bottom 20%.
I simply DO find it insulting to be told I am "privileged" when I am in the bottom 20% working as a part-time janitor, or working as a no-benefits temp. Oh, but the privilege doesn't mean you will "win" it just means you are playing the game on the easiest possible setting.
Which is again, very insulting. There you are, playing life on the easiest possible setting and you STILL are at the bottom. What a loser you are. What a horrible player of this game.
But the truth doesn't have to be nice, it just has to be true.
And I also think it is false to say that the 4 million single men with less than zero in net worth (in 2002) are privileged while the 1.14 million single women and the 3.66 million married women with over $500,000 in net worth are part of an "oppressed class".
I just don't think oppression and privilege work that way.
